We have long been fans of this shoe and have recognized it for its excellent traction many times. While still called the Roclite G , a couple of critical updates make this shoe better than previous versions, even though we haven't continued to give it an award. The G-grip graphene outsole improves durability while at the same time causing a slight decrease in stickiness. In our opinion, the trade-off is worth it, considering we have ripped many of the 6mm cleat-shaped lugs off of previous test versions while on a day out running over rocks. The upper uses thinner mesh that is a bit more breathable but not incredibly durable. The Adapterweb foot cradling system is slightly changed. A narrow-gauge nylon cord is used as laces and holds the foot securely in place, joining the laces to the footbed and sandwiched very closely inconspicuously within the upper. The Roclite is not a super protective shoe and is more weighted towards sensitivity than foot protection. There is around 11mm of midsole cushioning in the heel, and combined with the 6mm insole and the 6mm lugs, the stack height in the heel is still a low 24mm, making it one of the least cushioned shoes that we tested. Inov-8 says there is a "metashank" in the midsole, but we have a hard time noticing what it does, as this shoe allows for a lot of trail feel.
